Diversify Your Portfolio

Others may disagree, but I consider myself an optimist.

I try to find the best slant in every situation, but let’s face it. The Cubs are already out of it this year. They certainly had a chance entering the season thanks to a piss-poor Central Division and if they came out strong from the jump, […]

You’re In My World Now!

I’m back, and in 3/4 effect!

For those that are curious, the wedding went off without a hitch (aside from the near or possibly record low temperatures and biting strong gusts of wind. At least the rain had stopped by that point so we could take pictures outside). Andy took tons of video with our […]

More Trade Post Catch-Up Featuring Rhubarb Runner

My second trade with Rhubarb Runner over at “e’ rayhahn, rayhahn” won’t be as cleverly written as the first, I’m afraid. You see, I’m getting desperately behind. There are a million things I want to be writing, but it’s getting down to crunch time for me. And I’m not just talking about the upcoming Community […]

A Stupid Good Trade With The Daily Dimwit

This is me trying to get caught up on trade posts a little faster before my group break officially opens (possibly later tonight!!).

Back in the day, when I opened up my “birthday” box of 2009 OPC, I was able to finagle a few trades out of you guys out there. In fact, I think […]

Quick and Easy Junkwax Trade With Reader Don

You all know I’m behind on my trade posts. There aren’t too many bloggers who manage to stay on top of such things. I would like to get caught up sometime before my wedding in May, however, so I’m going to attempt to step it up a bit.

Oh, and for those of you who […]

Everything Old is New Again

Here are just a few examples from the past year.

Kemp is either trying to catch the ball in his glove, or, more likely, his mouth

3-D cards. 3-D is everywhere these days. It’s like the 1950s all over again. Movies are trying to compete with 80 inch HDTV home theater systems. Cards…well, […]

A Peach of a Trade With Rhubarb Runner

I’m so far behind on posting trades on here.

“How behind are you?”

I’m so far behind that I’ve already completed a second trade with Rhubarb Runner from everyone’s favorite fake Latin phrased card blog “e’ rayhahn, rayhahn.”

Okay, I’m no Johnny Carson, but it feels like Carson could have gone through 2 or 3 […]

Overdue Trade Post – The Sandlot Edition

Sometimes I love junk wax. While it may seem like everyone in the world should have every card produced between 1987 and 1996, the reality of it is that there are still some people out there that could use some of those overproduced beauties.

(…Joe) from The Sandlot is one of those people. He took […]

Overdue Trade Post – Reader Steve D. Edition

First, I want to say that if you missed it in all the Topps Series 1 madness, please take a look at my proposed group break. I’d love some more feedback before I buy the boxes. Link is here.

This blog has been nothing but contests for the past month. I don’t think that’s a […]

Jon’s Christmas Haul

I hope everyone out there and a great, safe, action-packed, cardboard-packed, relic-packed, on-card auto-packed, pack-packed holiday season!

The presents are all unwrapped and the candy cane high is finally starting to wind down, so I think it’s about time that I showed off the goods that were waiting for me under the tree. Since this […]
